About this ebook
Can their love survive the hardships of war?
As the Nazis storm Europe, Lily becomes an apprentice at her family’s silk weaving factory. When they start to weave parachute silk there is no margin for error: one tiny fault could result in certain death for Allied soldiers.
The war also brings Stefan to Lily: a German Jewish refugee who works on the looms. As their love grows, there are suspicions someone is tampering with the silk.
Can their love survive the hardships of war? And will the Verner’s silk stand the ultimate test?
The Last Telegram is an evocative and engaging novel for fans of The Postmistress and Pam Jenoff.

Beautifully written story set in an innocent Britain during 1939. Young Lily is the teenaged daughter born into a silk weaving family. The author brings each character to life and describes the feelings of hope, love and fear that they each feel. An easy read, perfect for a holiday.
